Situation: Need to connect a SS2 (SunOS 4.1.1) to VAX cluster (VMS 5.3-5.4) running DecNet (aka LAT). This is to allow primarily the transfer of numeric data files averaging in the Mbytes in size, and access to the VAX cluster's resources (printers, tapes, etc). The possibility of remote logins would be a plus and anything beyond that is icing on the cake. I have little to no experience with sysadmin and networking notions. Question: I plan on buying SunLink DNI Rev 6.0. Is this the product I need ( the Sun rep says so, but...just checking) and what pitfalls should I look out for? Are there any other solutions? Any comments or advice pertaining to the above would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail replies directly to me. philippe@moe.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
